The Cat Butler - Derby

The UK sun is finally out—but so are the hitchhikers! ☀️🪲
As the weather warms up across the country, we’re all enjoying a bit more of the great outdoors. But did you know that warmer temperatures are exactly what flea pupae need to wake up and start searching for a host? 🧼🐾
Even if your cat stays strictly indoors, you could be bringing guests home on your shoes after a sunny walk in the park! 🌳👠
In our latest blog, we explore why 'indoor' doesn't mean 'immune' when it comes to flea protection.

Our Caturday celebrations have reached New Zealand today, thanks to the lovely Muffy. 🇳🇿✨
Even at 16, she’s still got that gorgeous charm and a gaze that could melt hearts across the ocean. It’s an honour to celebrate such a distinguished senior lady! 🛡️🏰
What’s your favorite thing about senior cats? For us, it’s the unlimited wisdom (and the extra-loud purrs!) 👇

The Butler might be steering, but he is under no illusion as to who is actually in charge. He isn't just a driver, he is the help, and the help is expected to provide a smooth ride and an immediate snack upon arrival. 🏠✨

Happy National Siamese Cat Day! 🐾💙
Today we are celebrating the "Talkative Royalty" of the feline world.🗣
Whether they are singing you the song of their people at 3:00 AM or staring deep into your soul with those piercing blue eyes, life with a Siamese is never boring! 👀
Known for being incredibly intelligent, social, and just a little bit demanding, our Siamese clients certainly keep their Butlers on their toes.
From their distinctive "points" to their huge personalities, there is truly no other breed quite like them. 🥰

Such a pleasure to see dear little Rouge this morning 🐾 she’s normally a very shy little kitty but she’s gaining confidence with her trusted Butler! 🐾🐈‍⬛😻🫶

While humans have sweat glands all over our skin, cats are almost entirely covered in fur, which makes traditional sweating impossible. 🐈
Instead, they have eccrine sweat glands located in their paw pads. 🐾
How it Works 🔽
💦The "Damp Print" Phenomenon: On a very hot day or during a stressful trip to the vet, you might actually see little damp paw prints on tiles or exam tables. That is literally cat sweat!
🐈A "Mini" Cooling System: Because the surface area of their paws is so small, sweating isn't their primary way to stay cool. It’s more of a backup system.
😼Pheromone Messaging: Sweating through the paws also serves a social purpose. Those damp prints leave behind a scent that tells other cats, "I was here, and I was a bit stressed.

March 23rd is officially Cuddly Kitten Day, and we are ready for all the tiny purrs and kneady paws! 🐾💖
The Purr-fect Excuse for Extra Snuggles! 🐈✨
This day is all about celebrating the incredible joy and companionship these little fluffballs bring into our lives. Whether they are zooming around the house or curled up in a "kitten ball" on your lap, today is the day to give them that extra bit of love and affection.
Why We Celebrate:
💚Affection First: It’s a dedicated reminder to slow down and enjoy some quality cuddle time with your feline friends.
📌Awareness Matters: Many kittens are born every year but sadly end up in rescues. Today serves as a vital reminder of the importance of adopting and giving a rescue kitten their "fur-ever" home. 🏠❤️
🐈The "Kitten Effect": There’s nothing quite like the bond formed in those early months to create a confident, happy adult cat!
At The Cat Butler, we love supporting our littlest clients as they grow. From playtime to settling in for a nap, we make sure they feel safe and loved while you're away. 🤗️
